For Q.2 . I focussed on simplifying each option and see if the passage supports it.
According to the author of the passage, Temoshotka, in her estimation of Nabokov, does which of the following?
Select all that apply.
A. Reconcile two antagonistic tendencies that coexisted in the author - There aren't any antagonistic tendencies that the author has. Yes, the passage presents two views about Nabokov's skills, but there's isn't any evidence in the passage to conclude that these two views are antagonistic.
B. Make a claim without providing any evidence to this claim - Temoshotka does present an evidence to support her claim about Nabokov's work. So, can't be the answer. I don't think we need to infer anything here. Temoshotka's evidence is mentioned in the passage. Hence, wrong.
C. Present a thesis that while at points is valid is also overly ambitious - Yes. Author gives some credit to Temoshotka's assertion, but states that he takes in too far. So. only C.
